By 9 p.m. Saturday, 123 reports of the quake had been sent to the survey's "Did You Feel It" site. Reports came from an area of about 3,000 or 4,000 square miles.

KIfan1980 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Just my opinion, but there should be a threshold that a "quake" has to achieve to be called an earthquake - below that call it a tremor or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Tremor is another name for an Earthquake I get what you mean though, like the way a weak Hurricane is a Tropical Storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
